Y'all, I've now actually changed Jesper's voice actor!

His voice actor is actually gonna be Noel MacNeal since he is the actual voice actor of Pixel, and Ronald Binion was just Pixel's puppeter (but he was actually even his voice actor in season 3-4 and extras of lazytown), and I even imagine Jesper's voice often sounding like how Pixel's voice did here in the episode "defeeted":

Twas a time in history where this was my favourite LazyTown episode in history. I loved the plot, the song, the climax, and I liked the quality of production. This was the thirty first out of thirty five episodes of the first season of LazyTown to be filmed.

The episode begins with a recycled cold open from 'My Treehouse'. I guess it was recycled because Sportacus set a record of how fast he could get into the skutla (twelve seconds).

In the lair, Robbie is being awarded the Laziest Person award by Milford and Sportacus. Sportacus is giving him the crown on an orange fluffy pillow, bowing down, praising Robbie, asking for an autograph and Milford is talking about how Robbie has always been his favourite. This sequence is just so funny writing-wise, not to mention Magnus' acting! Only one minute in and you can see why I love this episode.

However, it turns out to be a dream and the crown on his head is his underwear. He screams at the sight of his red heart boxers. LOL! The only thing that's real is him grasping the LazyTown Book of Records in his arms. So he opens the book up and Sportacus has won every record - Fastest Run, Highest Jump, Most Races Won, Most Flips, Longest Throw, Most Energy, you name it and he's won it! Except Laziest Person. Robbie declares that award his. Also, has anybody noticed the descriptions for the records are just Lorem Ipsum text?

So Robbie decides to set that record, but outside, where Milford can see it. Speaking of Milford, he is bringing Bessie a cup of fruit juice and asks if she needs anything else a buncha times and only stops when Bessie yells at him. (The kids ask Robbie what he's doing and he tells them about Record Day, then they ask Milford to do it again but Bessie is against it because things were getting broken by balls. They promised not to break anything this time and they go to tell the others.

While the kids are walking to tell the others, Robbie tells them to be quiet and Trixie tells him that they're setting their own records and he gets super mad. I don't blame him either. Trixie is going to throw a ring through a.. life ring and set a record, Ziggy is gonna set a world record in ping pong until Stingy takes his idea so he does a record in golf, Pixel is gonna set a world record in video soccer (isn't the whole point to be active..?) and Stephanie is gonna hit a baseball as far as she can, but when they try, they fail miserably.

Sportacus sees their failure, and he rides to LazyTown to help them. The sound of the airship wakes up Robbie. Sportacus asks the kids what's wrong and Stephanie tells him everything. So he says that they should do a team record, but they need some energy. Stephanie goes under a tree and Sportacus does the flying kick from Defeeted - a ball hits the tree and an apple falls into Stephanie's hand. Then they perform Energy, but with some different clips. This is personally my favourite version of the song.

During the song, Stephanie kicks a ball and it almost flies through Milford's open window, but luckily Sportacus does a flying dive to catch it. The song ends and Milford asks to play, but he kicks the ball flying to Bessie's flowerpot. They can't play soccer anymore and Robbie fake cries. LOL!!

Then Milford has to bring Bessie the LAZY ● TOWN NEWS which has a very captivating headline - 'MAYOR MEANSWELL SNORES TO LOUD'. Anyways, the kids decide to set a baseball record but Robbie has a ridiculously smart plan to catch one of their balls, break something with it, and blame it on them. He tries the plan, and what do you know?

It makes a hole in Bessie's copy of LAZY ● TOWN NEWS which she has been reading since My Treehouse, apparently and she declares that they can't play with balls anymore. Who in the world voted HER for mayor? Not me that's for sure. LazyTown'd turn into FashionTown. While Milford is a good character, Bessie takes advantage of him too much times in this show and never stands up for himself.

So the kids are super sad, but then they have the genius idea to ask Sportacus for help. But Robbie isn't having it. So he grabs a soccer ballsack and tries out the newest gadget he has - a soccer ball launcher. Stephanie sends Sportacus a letter to say that they want him there.

You can see his visible happiness when he finds out the kids want him. So he decides to use the Sky Chaser (I always found the Sky Chaser epic, but not as epic as the skutla), but Robbie's flying soccer balls almost hit Sportacus and he dodges them all. A ball flies into the airship and hits the steering wheel, and the airship starts turning.

While Sportacus is looking at the airship, a ball hits him in the head. He dodges every ball coming his way, and as Bessie says, 'saves himself' by going back to the ship. As he tries to go back to the ship, a ball hits him in the chest and he grabs onto the platform.

How some people can watch this episode, see Robbie almost kill Sportacus because he wants to set a world record and still ship them or have Robbie as their favourite character is just BEYOND me. Then a ball hits him in the hand, and he's hanging on with ONE HAND!! Two wouldn't work for me. Sportacus is so epic! Sportacus grabs an apple he kept in his shirt, then a ball hits his hand and lands on Robbie's head. He tells him to 'WATCH IT!!'

Excuse me, but he is hanging from a platform thousands of feet in the air. He can't hear you and even if he did he wouldn't give two f- fuji apples. Anyways, the kids finally decide they have to get him some Sports Candy. In positions. Ziggy has a golf club and is below the apple tree. Stephanie has a bat and is on the baseball court. Trixie is on the sports field with a ring. Stingy is in the treehouse with a ping pong paddle. Trixie hits a box full of soccer balls and it opens. Milford kicks it as hard as he can. BAM! I'd purposefully just hit Robbie with the ball (what type of ball..??)

Pixel hits the soccer ball with his head (which is how he scored the winning goal in Soccer Sucker - oops. Spoiler alert! Eh, screw you, the production team already spoiled it themselves in Dear Diary and you had no problem with that. IT'S CAUSE I'M BLACK!!!!) and it hits the tree. The apple falls on the ground and Ziggy hits it with the golf club to Stingy's ping pong paddle.

Also, it might just be me, but Stingy moving his eyes is totally unnerving. Stephanie hits the apple with her baseball bat as hard as she can and Sportacus catches it! I'm just surprised eight year olds thought this up, because Milford definitely didn't. So, Sportacus takes ONE single bite of the apple and suddenly has enough energy to climb up the platform and Stingy is laughing happily, like a maniac.

So, another ball flies into the ship and hits a lever. The inbrake has released and the airship is moving! Sportacus hits a flying ball like Bruce Lee (Cheng Zhen) delivered his punches in 'Fist of Fury'. and the platform is up, and plays a recycled scene from 'Dr. Rottenstein'. It might be reused, but I enjoyed watching it in this episode more then that one. It's like how drinking water makes the rest of the day calmer. Watching the prior scene just made the ending of the climax cooler.

While Robbie is leaving to the lair, Sportacus leaves the airship and tells them they were fantastic. They actually were. Sportacus, I can't believe YOU, a superhero who lives thousands of feet in the air had to be saved by some eight year old puppets. Eh, you're still my favourite. Milford tells them all that they've set a new record for the world's longest team flying disc soccer golf ping pong apple relay. They all sing Bing Bang to celebrate. Then Robbie trips and sits on the soccer launcher.

He is launched into his lair and he lands on his orange fluffy chair (wasn't it outside the entire episode...???) and sends it flying back to the lair. He then says that MUST have been some type of record. LOL!!

10/10. It has been years since I watched it and I still love it the same!!

Always a Way is from Season 1 Episode 2, Defeeted

One More Time is from Season 4 Episode 7, Ziggy’s Talking Teddy.

[n-chu4ever]

two random notes on LazyTown bc I do what I want

- Áfram!Íthró is a bit of an ass, but here’s the thing: Show!Sportacus’ ways of helping wouldn’t have worked. Neither would have GGÍL!Íthró’s. These were kids that genuinely were complete assholes, ESPECIALLY Halla. They needed more than just gentle encouragement and music. Á!Íthró had to get a little aggressive with them BECAUSE that’s what they needed. Not because he was a complete dick.

- Moving on: Early episodes of LazyTown have such a strange (but good) vibe to them, especially Defeeted, Sports Day, Sportafake, and a few others that I can’t remember. We’re ignoring the questionable canon here, just looking at the feel of the episodes themselves.

Defeeted especially has a VERY strange feel, and that’s because of the consistent silences and sound design. You can also tell exactly how early the episode was in the show’s production order because they haven’t quite got the lighting or Sportacus’ makeup right.

These are not bad things, though. In fact, I’ll bet one of the reasons Defeeted is fairly memorable (apart from Always A Way) lies in the fact that it’s just plain odd. Sheer chaos, honestly. And it’s wonderful, from ‘Lazycus’ slamming into a post as he slides into view after a decent period of technical silence from the Mayor and Bessie, only to be immediately recognised, the lack of musical cues in the background throughout the episode, Sportacus’ shoes flying somewhere offscreen and the only sound it makes when it lands being a cymbal crash…

Defeeted is a Good Episode.

Did not mean this to get so long whoops—

The excitement that comes to Sport's face when the Mayor asks if Sportacus can teach the kids soccer in Defeeted is just so cute. The way his eyes light up-

Some icons as a bonus:

Mayor Meanswell and Miss Busybody!

nooo!!! you gave me the hard ones!!

Mayor Meanswell: What’s one of your favorite Lazytown fanfictions?

ok, aahh there’s so many!! but the first ones that came to mind were catch your breath; there are no breaks series by Psilent (HereThereBeFic) and  curled up, died, and now it's Rotten series by Sportafloopity (TjLockticon)  ummm these ones are super angsty, normally i read fluffy stuff (i don’t feel like finding some rn), but these ones hAVE SUCH BEAUTIFUL WRITING and also the plots for both of these are super unique and well-written!!

Miss Busybody: What’s your favorite Lazytown episode?

aaahhh noo, ummm?? i wanna say “Swiped Sweets” (sportacus in this one is just too good!!) and “Defeeted” (just overall good ep) and “Sportacus Who?” (gr8 sportarobbie interactions in this one)

send me Lazytown asks!! :D

[swagnusscheving]

What she says: i'm fine

What she means: In "Defeeted" Mayor Meanswell mentions how the last Sportacular Spectacle Day Sportacus got everyone excited in a game of baseball and it was super fun. But a few episodes later in "Sleepless in Lazytown" Sportacus seems to be learning the game for the first time. Not in that "person humoring a child and letting the child 'teach' them" sort of way either, because when Robbie challenges Sportacus to a game he says in the most genuine manner, "I just learned how to play today." @ magnus scheving what is the truth. what is the tru

This is the second episode of LazyTown that aired on the same day as the first one. All in all a very early and flawed episode.

The episode begins with some amazing aerobics from Sportacus while he.. tries to brush his teeth. My lord, he is so extra. And it is so cool! How everyone can see those jumps and flips that Magnus, Joe and Dyri did and not like them is beyond me.

Anyways, it's a new day in LazyTown and everyone has seem to forgotten everything Sportacus had tought them in the last episode. They take him for granted and don't care. Anyways, Stephanie is in her room writing in her diary, bored. Milford asks what is wrong and Stephanie tells him that nobody is playing outside. Milford knows what just to do (rely on Sportacus). He gives Sportacus a letter saying 'I need your help'. Sportacus rides the airship to LazyTown, but not before doing a flip into his chair.. and landing the wrong way. LazyTown is the pinnacle of comedy.

Milford talks to Sportacus, telling him something terrible has happened. Sportacus tries guessing four times what has happened, and all his guesses are lethal natural disasters. LOL! This is funny. Anyways, Milford tells him about the whole thing with not wanting to play outside and he asks Sportacus to get the kids excited with a sport like he did last year at the Sportacular Spectacle Day. Now, excuse ME, but didn't Sportacus arrive in LazyTown, like, one episode ago? The continuity of this show's first season kills me sometimes, like when a clip from Soccer Sucker (episode 24) is played in Dear Diary (episode 16).

Anyways, Robbie is as usual, angry about Sportacus, so he looks into his periscope and finds the sign Milford has put up. Robbie reminisces about how Sportacular Spectacle Day was a day full of pie eating contests and diving into chocolate syrup. He then admires his newest invention - "THE FEET CRAZER MAKER 6000!!" Then he plays with the remote control, calls it beautiful until it kicks him in the face and he falls onto the ground. I. Love. This. Show.

He then gets up from the floor and wears his newest disguise - Rob U Blind, a salesman with ridiculous ways. Now we are in Pixel's house with Ziggy and Stephanie. Ziggy is hyping the event up. He is ridiculously excited. Steph is curious. And french fry hair boy is playing a video game and insulting Ziggy in between rounds.

Sportacus is on the soccer field practicing his amazing move (kicking a soccer ball while doing a backflip). Robbie is walking to him and almost gets hit in the face by the ball. Anyways, he walks up to him and plays the funniest sequence of this episode.

Robbie asks Sportacus if he has ever thought "Boy, my shoes are sure full of slimy smelly goo!"? Sportacus of course says no. THEN Robbie pours slimy smelly goo all over his shoes. Robbie then (pretends to) cleans the shoes with the Shoe Cleaner 6000, and once he is finished, he swipes the shoes and gives Sportacus the Feet Crazer Maker. What's funny is that Sportacus is not having any of it (and Robbie is also pretty hilarious).

So, anyways, after that, it is time for Sportacus to perform his epik move!1!111!1!1!!, but Robbie has the remote control and plays with Sportacus, making his "feet go cuckoo!" -Sportacus. Everyone is worried and confused, except Robbie who is enjoying every single moment of it. It's so unintenionally funny. Sportacus just looks insane. I also love Milford's "reaction" to getting kicked in the head. Could be the cause for his stupidness in the later seasons?

Now Sportacus is on a bench trying to get his feet to go back to normal while Milford and Bessie are just sitting there and questioning if that was supposed to happen. It's so funny. One of the possibly craziest events in LazyTown just happened and they're so quiet about it, especially the man who got KICKED IN THE HEAD. Anyways, back to Stephanie and the gang, who are using multiple methods to try and get him back to normal while performing "Always a Way", a.k.a ONE OF THE BEST LAZYTOWN SONGS IN EXISTENCE. THIS SONG IS A TREASURE AND I WILL GO BRUCE LEE MODE ON ANYONE WHO DISAGREES. It's inspirational and a head banger (well at least the radio edit).

Now Robbie shows up on stage in his LazyCus costume and performs an amazing move (attempting the splits and falling down and failing terribly)! Milford and Bessie aren't really all that impressed, but LazyCus convinces them by saying that they don't have a superhero anymore.

Cue Sportacus coming on in stage with the gang, doing a handstand. He then fails and flails his feet around. Fortunately, french fry hair boy is behind Robbie while he drops his gadget off the stage and turns it off, and the shoes go flying off.. and Robbie runs off stage in such a cartoony way it is hilarious..

Sportacus stands up normally, but he doesn't know where his shoes are. Robbie runs back on stage to give him the Feet Crazer Makers, but french fry hair boy stops him and tells him to put them on. Robbie declines but Pixel comes back with the classic 'unless-you're-afraid' argument. Ooh, snap! He ends up putting them on, acting like everything is fine, but then Pixel turns the gadget on.

Then his feet go cuckoo and everybody laughs at his pain as he falls down and gets his foot stuck in a bin.. I would too. Anyways, somehow Stephanie gains hold of the real shoes and cleans them up. He puts them on and Bessie throws him a ball to do his epik !!111!!!!111 trick. He performs it, the ball almost hits Robbie again, everyone is impressed, they sing the Bing Bang song (both verses), the end.

I must say, for the third episode of the TV show that LTE filmed, this is an amazing episode. Of course, the puppeteers screwed up visibly like four times in total, but it was an amazing episode with an amazing song. But there was no Robbie sequence at the end, possibly because the two verses of Bing Bang were sung instead of one verse.

THE END

10/10

“Defeeted"

‘Someone’s in trouble’ – wow, nobody got into trouble! – 1 total

‘It’s disguise time’ – 1 – 1 total

The displayed disguises are – too loony, too moony, too puny, (too good to be true - perfect)

‘No one suspects the mailbox’ – we’re getting closer, it’s the first time he was actually in the mailbox – 0 total

‘I meant to do that!’ (and variations) – none – 1 total

‘I’ve got mail!’ – he did get mail but didn’t say it because he saw it coming – 1 total

Kitten rescued – still no kitten

Sportacus – Sportakook (3rd time overall)

Fav/Okay/Nah

About the Song:

It’s nice enough, but not really a favourite. There are some cute moments of Sport and Steph and a bit of nice synchronized dancing, but overall I’m pretty meh about it (good message though).

About the Disguise:

Of the two I think Lazycus is my favourite, because of the table-cloth quote. It’s not really a disguise though, because everyone recognizes him as Robbie. Rob U. Blind has one really nice scene and some good goo-lines, but it’s too short to really make a big impression.

Iconic Moments/Lines:

First dab! When he meets the mayor.

Favourite Moments:

Sportacus flipping into his seat and ending up backwards.

The mayor declaring sportacular spectacle day, just everything about it.

The whole salesman-in-action scene, the first real Sportarobbie interaction.

Stephanie asking Sportacus if he’s nervous and reassuring him.

Favourite Lines:

Ziggy: Like last year he did this awesome stunt, he was all like…(moves around and falls down)

Pixel: Only he did not land on his face…

Robbie: Mr. Mayor, say hello to your new town-hero, Lazycus!

Milford: Robbie Rotten?! Bbbbut you’re not a hero!

Robbie: Yes I am! I have a letter on my chest, a nifty hat, and a tablecloth – uh a cape! Well, okay, fine, I couldn’t find a cape, it’s a tablecloth, but it’s close enough!!

Favourite Character:

(not saying Robbie, not saying Robbie!) But no one else really did much interesting stuff… I’ll settle on saying Milford, because of how he declares sportacular spectacle day,  how he calls Sportacus to cheer up Stephanie and how he reacts to Lazycus.

Least favourite Character:

Pixel had that one really good line and saved the day, but I’m biased and didn’t really like how long he kept torturing Robbie. I’m only saying it to have someone for this category… nah, he did good and saved the day.

Moments that bothered me/I didn’t like:

‘Do you remember last year?...’ Sportacus came to town last episode and now he’s been there last year? Why did we skip a whole year? – Later Ziggy tells Stephanie about several sportacular spectacle days with Sportacus as if she hadn’t been there to witness them. On the other hand Robbie talks about ssd’s with cake-eating contests, when were those? Has LazyTown only been half lazy the last few years with Sportacus coming for a visit every year? Or did they just not think when writing those lines?

Not a moment, but the fact that Pixel’s voice is so completely different.
